Adversity and the mastery of life's challenges are like the collision of positive and negative charges, sparking the brilliance of victory. Hardships forge a resilient character, and failures provide the inspiration that opens the door to success.
Doing good often goes unnoticed, while doing wrong is frequently remembered. Only by responding to grievance with virtue can all grudges be truly resolved. Use morality to inspire rather than resentment to retaliate, for responding to hate with hate will never turn an enemy into a friend.
Success is the process of setting valuable goals and gradually turning them into reality.
Great matters reveal ability, while small matters reveal character. It is easy to know a person's face but difficult to know their heart; one must observe actions to understand the spirit. One's attitude toward subordinates reveals humanity, toward superiors reveals subservience, toward the poor reveals conscience, toward the weak reveals kindness, toward profit reveals greed, and toward honor reveals ambition. In the smallest details, one can discern the essence of a person.
